Celebrity Interior Designer Roni Fleischer Stars in 'Come Dine With Me' Season 10
Roni Fleischer, known as the "celebrity interior designer," is stepping out from behind the scenes to appear as a contestant on the tenth season of the popular Israeli reality show "Come Dine With Me" on Kan 11. The show, which features five amateur cooks competing to host the best dinner, returned for its milestone season, marking a special moment for Fleischer, who turned 50 during filming. Originally slated to participate in season nine, her involvement was postponed due to the outbreak of war in northern Israel, but she embraced the opportunity to join the celebratory tenth season instead.
A resident of Carmiel and a mother of a 27-year-old daughter, Fleischer has an extensive portfolio designing homes for Israeli celebrities such as Titi Aynaw, Tal Talmon, and Maya Buskila. She views home design as a personal storytelling medium, blending aesthetics, fashion, hospitality, and emotion. This philosophy made her connection to "Come Dine With Me" natural, as she sees the show as more about human connection than just cooking.
Fleischer’s own home is a 70-square-meter ground-floor apartment with a large 110-square-meter garden, designed in a soft, rustic style featuring natural materials like wood, rattan, and bamboo. Many items were collected during her travels worldwide, adding a personal touch. She emphasizes creating a warm, inviting atmosphere that merges indoor and outdoor spaces seamlessly. Her kitchen is modern yet complements the rustic theme, and her outdoor area is equipped for hosting large gatherings.
During the show’s filming, Fleischer celebrated her 50th birthday while hosting fellow contestants, describing the experience as thrilling and emotionally rich. She hopes her participation sends a message that turning 50 is a peak moment of confidence and self-awareness, especially for women. Fleischer defines strength as building one’s path through hard work and passion without apology.
Her design advice focuses on creating homes that reflect the residents’ lifestyles and emotions rather than just aesthetics or budgets. She believes every home can be designed beautifully within any budget by prioritizing key spaces. Ultimately, Fleischer sees design as an emotional experience that makes people feel truly at home from the moment they enter.
